25. Sufjan Stevens: 'Come On Feel The Illinoise' (2005) - In an audacious move the Sufjan recorded an album for each of the 50 states in America. Paying tribute to Illinois is this effort from 2005 Stevens does so in suitably outlandish fashion with track names like 'A Short Reprise for Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, but for Very Good Reasons'. Behind the ostentation, however, lies Steven's heart breaking voice, inventive arrangements and innate love of melody best summed up by the song 'Chicago' which went on to feature in the Oscar winning film Little Miss Sunshine.
- Absolutely love this list! Although, where are Kaiser Chiefs?
- not good enough really
- Kaiser Chiefs are on our worst albums of the decade countdown
- not enough dance
- I was just thinking about this the other day. Can't argue with most of these although I am missing Beck's Sea Change, Bon Iver and CSS.
